Anna and the French Kiss

by Stephanie Perkins

What a breath of fresh air! A high schooler is sent to Europe for boarding school. Her parents are divorced and she leaves behind her mom, little brother, dad, and friends. She makes new friends, does well in her classes, but most importantly, she discovers so many things about herself. She finds out what is important to her and what things truly matter in life. AND. She kisses a boy (or two?). It's a clean story from the view of a high school senior. It was great!

Hunted

by P.C. & Kristin Cast

The House of Night Series is one of vampires of all sorts. It is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma at a high school of sorts for young vampires-in-the-making. I love the characters. I love the story. I don't love the foul language, but can deal with it (most of the time). Great book for high school-age, if language is not an issue. If it is, don't bother starting the series, it will just grate at you.

Untamed

by P.C. & Kristin Cast

Part of the House of Night series, I recentlt pick this one up. I had forgotten just how terrible the language of teenagers can be when they think no adults are around (or how terrible language is percieved by authors of young adult fiction). I can handle farm language, but OMG and F... are a little much for me. Language aside, the story is great! I love the characters and how they mingle. The Casts' are excellent story tellers.

Carpe Corpus (Morganville Vampires #6)

by Rachel Caine

While feeding my addiction to this series, I realized that I've acted like a spoiled teenager: reading without care for those around me...sorry.

Claire continues to manage her life with blatant disregard for the "rules" of Morganville. And, it's still working for her and her friends. All is not well, but much better than before...mayhem is not far away, though.

Lords of Misrule (Morganville Vampires #5)

by Rachel Caine

I feel like I've found a new soap opera to watch. The plot twists, chaos, and general vampire madness is so intruging to me!

Feast of Fools (Morganville Vampires #4)

by Rachel Caine

Seriously, I've become obsessed with this series. I read this book in an evening after the kids went to bed...need I say more?!
